Fitness Journey

In the beginning I was a 206lb "flabalicious" fat guy rapidly approaching the big 3-0. So, how am I doing? Today, about seven months in, I weighed 166.6lbs. Over the holidays I went back up to 178 lbs, but now I am working on reaching my goal of 159 lbs, 7% body fat, and a Ninja Warrior ready body.

I’ve embraced the simplicity of neon cards for recording all my workouts (not to mention the books I read for comps). I am going to try to do a better job of keeping up with blog posts, but will still probably post twice a week or less. Still better than I’ve been doing thus far.

So far those who are curious about my cards over the last several days…

Card 1 (09-14-2009)

Strength Training (15 Minutes)

Superset A

Squat Jump: 3 sets of 10 reps

Explode Ups (Push up but you explode your hands and feet off the ground): 3 sets of 8 reps

I have done something similar with the cards idea. Write one exercise on one card so you have a couple of dozen. Then do the same with another pack but put numbers on this one, that is the number of reps/minutes. Stack them like playing cards and cut one from each pack (put the cards back for a beast feature) Do the exercise and reps as per the card and cut a again. It can be a real beast is if you draw the card again.
